Effect of biodiesel and its blends with diethyl ether on the combustion, performance and emissions from a diesel engine

Effects of diethyl ether (DEE) injection on combustion performance and emission characteristics of Karanja methyl ester (KME)–biogas fueled dual fuel diesel engine

“…Also, the port injection of DEE helps it to 568 mix properly with the air-biogas mixture and forms many ignition 569 centers in the combustion chamber and gives a lower CO emission 570 [5,35,52]. NO emission with the DEE injection is attributed to the higher oxy-612 gen enrichment (from both DEE and KME) and a more complete 613 combustion may give higher thermal NO due to high combustion 614 temperature [5,35,37,56]. The NO emission for BDFM24.5/DEE2, 615 BDFM24.5/DEE4, and BDFM24.5/DEE6 is about 13.5%, 10.9%, and 616 5.7% lower than that of KME, at full load operation respectively.…”

The influence of various oxygenated functional groups in carbonyl and ether compounds on compression ignition and exhaust gas emissions

“…Carbonyl compounds had longer ignition delays compared to the corresponding alkanes, 35 whereas ether compounds decreased the ignition delay. It is suggested that these observations relate 36 to the changes in the relative ease of hydrogen abstraction and the ability of a fuel peroxy radical to 37 undergo isomerization during the low-temperature combustion chemistry preceding ignition. In addi- 38 tion, it was observed that, both moving a carbonyl group closer to the centre of the carbon chain of a 39 molecule and adding a double bond to a carboxylic acid increased the ignition delay.…”

Investigation of Effect of Injection Pressure on Performance and Emission Characteristics of Composite Oil Biodiesel on DI CI Engine

“…Reed et al [17] Performance test carried out in diesel engine and the results obtained for waste cooking oil methyl esters and diesel fuel was in good agreement. Suryawanshi et al [18] experimented using blends of Pongamia methyl ester with diesel fuel and found a reduction in HC and CO (Carbon Monoxide) emissions at part loads as well as full load compared to diesel fuel.…”
